Default Head Light ?

I am thinkin of doing a Head Light upgrade on my 04 FXD. After riding with my brother,he has a 09 Fat Bob, I am looking at going to a HID system. Has any one here done this upgrade and what are the goods and bads and what setup did you use?

No "bads". All goods.

It's perfectly bright. I think the bulb temperature is a 6500k if I remember. It's been a long time since I did the install.

Before you swap out your headlight, try different bulbs first.

Another question is this. Will the bikes electrics/ charging system support this upgrade?

Yes.
It takes less energy to run an HID bulb than a regular one.
